CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Local man Harrison Baker had lunch at Captain D’s on Kraft Street last week. It was during the busy lunch rush, and after his meal, Baker left.

Later that evening, Baker went to a gas station to fill up his truck. When he grabbed for his wallet to pay, he realized it was missing.

Not only did his wallet contain his cash, but his veterans ID card, credit cards and driver’s license.

“It was panic city for me,” Baker said.

Baker’s friend Chris Winkle, who was with him earlier that day, suggested he retrace his steps and called Captain D’s for him.

When he spoke with an employee, they told him it was safely in a plastic bag and waiting for him at the counter.

Ashlee Johns, a 23-year-old employee at the Captain D’s, was cleaning tables after the lunch rush and found Baker’s wallet in a booth. She then gave it to a manager.

“We figured he’d be retracing his steps to figure out where he lost it,” said Dee Phillips, a manager at the restaurant. “I’ve lost mine before and I know how hard it is to replace your social security card, license and all that.”

Baker said he was elated when he picked up his wallet.

“I’ve been all over the world, and people don’t do that on a regular basis,” Baker said. “That’s a good sign for our community that people still care about things like that.”

He is especially impressed with the employees and management.

Phillips said integrity is a main focus at Captain D’s, and they strongly try to instill that in their employees.

“I’m extremely proud of them that they are so honest and have that much integrity,” Phillips said. “(Returning a wallet) is something small for somebody, but you hope and pray that they would do it back to you.”

For Baker, having his wallet returned to him means more than having his belongs back.

“I’m very thankful that there are people you can believe,” Baker said. “With so much chaos going on, it was really refreshing to find that people try to do the right thing.”
